  5. Oblique view from high above the North Pacific looking north at Alaska at dusk. The west is still lit by a low sun, the east is in twilight with a few city lights. A thin glowing rose line runs east-west across southern Alaska. Stone-colored points (Starlink) fill the sky over all of Alaska and the Arctic; rose points (Amazon Leo) stay over the Pacific, south of the line.

  9. Map of North America seen from space, shaded in two tones. Everything south of a thin dark rose line at about 58.7 degrees north is tinted rose; north of the line, up to the North Pole, the map is taupe and bone. The line crosses southern Alaska just north of Juneau and Kodiak and runs on across northern Canada. Eight small dots mark Alaska towns; five of them, including Anchorage, Fairbanks and Utqiagvik, are north of the line.
